Makin Is 10 Months Old

Ten. Months. Old. That sounds awfully close to one year and I can hardly believe my little baby is already there!

You weigh in at right around 24 lbs. Still wearing 12 month clothing but will be in 18 month soon I think. Hoping to hold you off until fall. :)

Schedule is...wake up by 6:30 am (the last couple days have been 6! Still hoping THAT habit doesn't stick.) no matter how late you were up. Nap around 9 for 30 minutes unless we are in the car then it is shorter. Nap for 30 minutes around 1 pm and then I rock you until Lorelei wakes up 1 hrish later, so get roughly 1 1/2-2 hours. In bed by around 7:30 pm.

You are thrilled to be walking. You now walk from couch to chair to people or wherever you want to go, but like to have a little something to hold onto in between. When you have a hold of my hand you practically drag me through the house. You walk to your sister's door if she is sleeping and you are awake because you want to play with her. You drag me to the front door or balcony door because you want to leave. :)

You still "sit crawl" and very quickly I might add. Not sure when you will ever crawl normal!

You are babbling a lot and love doing "baby talk" back and forth with Lorelei. Finally started blowing raspberries to add to the babble. Very close to saying "mom" to me but not totally confident you mean me so still waiting. :)

Love figuring out how your toys work and using them as they are supposed to be used. You love putting the balls in the gumball machine, pushing the lever, then putting them back in. Putting cars in the car ramp, etc. You use these better if we are in your room without big sis, but usually want to use her toys when she is around. Especially like playing the drums.

Still LOVE being read too, water, food, music and dancing.

We can see quite the sense of humor developing from you already, and you are very good humored when it comes to reacting to all of us. You love making us laugh or smile and will repeat what you do to see us laugh again. You are also still very sweet, even when your sister takes things from you...waiting to see when you start fighting back! :)

Just wanted to post a video so you can see just how good you are walking the day you turned 10 months old. I repeat 10 MONTHS OLD!!! I think this means running by 12 months...
